Now that Arrival has garnered so much attention from the Academy, the time is right for Paramount to bring the movie back to theaters and hopefully pad its box office take.
Not only did Arrival succeed at the box office, earning $170 million globally, it also did well with the Academy, earning 8 Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture (though not one for actress Amy Adams).
In order to entice people who’ve already experienced Arrival to come see the movie a second time, Paramount is adding some extra features for the re-release.
Arrival hit theaters in November of last year and impressed critics and audiences alike with its thought-provoking take on the classic scenario of alien spacecraft suddenly and mysteriously appearing on Earth.
